While many people still love their morning cup of coffee, the vibrant, earthy, and traditional Japanese matcha has taken over the beverage conversation. Although the drink served at the coffeehouse is different from the traditional tea ceremony, the craft and care needs to come through in every sip. La Colombe Matcha Latte captures that flavor in its ready to drink beverage.
Time and again, La Colombe has delivered on a promise. When it began its RTD offerings, the idea was to bring the coffeehouse to a more convenient option. That first sip from the can needs to taste as good as the one savored in the cafe.
Given the RTDs success, the popular company expands its line to include a matcha latte. According to La Colombe, matcha sales in its cafes have grown 188% since 2023. The new, convenient option helps to satisfy that thirst whenever it occurs.
According to Niel Sandfort, Chief Innovation Officer at Chobani and La Colombe, “When La Colombe first put the Draft Latte in a can, the brand helped reshape the RTD coffee category by making a true coffeehouse quality experience accessible to more people. Now, we’re bringing that same craft and innovation to matcha. We challenged ourselves to create a product with the highest quality ingredients that raises the bar for what consumers should expect from RTD matcha. The result is a thoughtfully crafted matcha latte made with exceptional ingredients and the same care and precision we bring to every beverage.”
What are the La Colombe Matcha Latte Flavors?
The new La Colombe Matcha Latte comes in three flavors, Everyday Matcha Latte, Strawberry, and Vanilla. Each drink features “farm-fresh, lactose-free whole milk from Michigan paired with single-origin matcha sourced from Japan.” The ingredient choices show the brand’s commitment to providing the best possible flavor experience in a convenient format.
Overall, the flavor has just the right amount of earthiness that people have come to love from matcha. A good quality matcha never feels like a romp through a grassy field. It should be subtle, fresh, like a spring day. Yes, there is an underlying umami flavor, but it is not woody. That subtly is what separates a great matcha from a subpar one.
By adding the milk and flavors, the drink becomes more than a protein booster. It makes every sip creamy and smooth. That latte transforms into an indulgence, a treat that needs to be savored.
The combination of strawberry and the milk is delightful. That juicy, sweet note becomes a burst of brightness that lifts any moment. It is a touch of whimsy that makes any day better.
The new La Colombe Matcha Latte beverages are available now. The 11 ounce can has 65mg of natural caffeine. The drinks will be available at stores and online soon.
